Its fine AK no offence taken, the Ford KA is not to everyones tastes, I only bought it as it was going cheap...but it does 40mpg or 6l / 100 km (So the same as crackers VW)
Its not broken! Its you crazy Europeans driving on the wrong side of the road
(Why the UK still uses Right hand drive when the rest of the EU is left, I don't quite understand. Probably too much trouble to move the roadsigns)
No I havn't converted it, British weather doesnt suit convertable
, on another forum I visit a member there has just restored an East German GAZ69 Staff car
I wouldn't mind having a drive of that!
Gaz

Man, you have another choices, much tastier! Consider an SH Toyota or VW, it looks much macho than girly pile of horse s..t that is Ford Ka for me. Again, no offence, please...

Pretty indestructible, isn't? That's why I want that fuckin' Toyota. '94 - '97, the best years they made it.

Haha, i don't actually have against trabants.. I love them..
The 2stroke engine is véry tunable.. because it isn't an expending exhaust.. making an proper exhaust system (every cylinder has to have his own exhaust in a 2stroke) and some decent carburators, and all that stuff, and you can get about 6 times more power out of a trabi..
But if it is safe to drive......
I don't really like the Ka neither, but I also don't like the Polo.. but on the otherside, if you know what it does..
You gotta love them..! Maintainance? - zip nada nothing.. except for some tires and stuff like that.. Gas?.. 95 octane.. the cheapest.. and it does 5-6 litres per 100km (if you drive carefully, driving long 80km/h roads (about 50-60MPH I believe)
It never let's you down, is cheap, has a roof over your head, and in the cities a large 4x4 or a car with 400+ horsepower is simply useless.. (Europe.. wow.. fantastic
)
I'm a BMW fan though, but can't afford it. Still young, lots of costs.. that's going to take a while

From somebody, driving a 14 years old VW Golf - big words...
I´m having a brand new BMW X3 and like it, more than my Mercedes C duty car I "must" drive for work every day:
that replace the Audi Quattro (4WD) after 380.000km
The BMW X-Drive is the best 4 wheel drive system.
